Their data isn't worth it. I was with them for one month because I thought I would save money but it's terrible. Their data is slow and the images are terrible quality since they have to go through Speakout's proxy. Also not all Android/iPhone/Blackberry/Windows Phone apps will work with Speakout's data. Though they do use Rogers towers so wherever you have Rogers signal, you'll have Speakout signal.
I switched from a month of Speakout to a Rogers Prepaid plan. My plan details are as follows:
-Rogers Pay By The Minute: All Day Plan: $0.25/first 5 minutes of day then $0.15/minute for the rest of the day.
-$5/month Text Messaging bundle: Reduces all text messaging costs to $0.02 per outgoing text and all incoming texts are now free.
-$10/month Data Add On: This gives me 100MB of Data. There's also the option of $25/month for $500MB of Data but I never pass 100MB of Data. There's the Day Pass of $1 for 10MB if you only use it to check emails once a week, and their Week Pass of 5$ for 60MB of data for the week.
That gives me the minimum monthly cost of $15/month, growing to $30/month. To save your balance, there are apps like Dell Voice, Textme, and Google Voice+VOIP apps that you can use via Wifi/Data for your mobile devices. If you don't have access to such apps(like me, a Windows Phone user) you can use Skype Mobile to dial Toll Free numbers (for free) and MobileVoip for all popular mobile devices that allow free calling to numbers in Canada.
